History of the parkMurramarang National Park was created in 1973, with an area of 1970 hectares. The park was divided, into two sections north and south of Durras Lake, and included four offshore islands. In 2002 the park was increased to 11,978 hectares and now includes Durras Lake.

The park contains 44 km of coastline and is managed primarily for conservational and recreational purposes. A number of areas of private land, including the coastal villages of Depot Beach and Durras North, are largely contained within the external boundaries of the park.

Historic sites in the parkYou'll find little evidence of historic sites in the park because these have been disturbed over the years. However, some evidence still exists of farming and logging, particularly on Durras Mountain. Look out for information signs in the car park to Durras Mountain, which relate some of the history of the area.
